HT201269 taking far too to transfer backup to new device

it's been taking far too long to transfer backup to new device

From your icloud backup?  How is your wifi strength?  How much data is being restored back to your phone?
How long is too long?

  • Even though iOS cannot restore backups of newer devices, can it restore data from an older device using 7.1.2 to a newer device using iOS8

    iPhone 4s 16GB running iOS 7.1.2. Even though iOS cannot restore backups of newer devices, can it restore data from an older device using 7.1.2 to a newer device using iOS8

    Hi ,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you cannot use your Wi-Fi after the latest update to your iPhone 4s. I know you have already done some great troubleshooting by restoring with iTunes but the Wi-Fi becomes unavailable very quickly after you set it up. Go ahead and set up the iPhone so you can get into the Setting and then follow the steps provided in the attached article.
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
         Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If you complete all of these steps and still are not able to access the Wi-Fi, it may be necessary to follow the link at the bottom of the page and contact Apple Support.
    Have a great day,

  • HT4859 I forgot to click Restore from iCloud Backup on new Device.

    I forgot to click Restore from iCloud Backup on new Device, and then signed in on the Cloud with the same Apple ID I used to create the Cloud on my old iPhone.  Can i still access my CLoud backup for apps, photos, etc.?

    You'll have to start over by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go back through the setup screens again and this time choose Restore from iCloud backup (see image below).  Note: your iCloud account and iCloud data will still be in your account and will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.  You also may want to connect your device to your charger as restoring from backup can take some time to complete.

  • Compressor 3 taking far too long to compress H.264

    Origianally posted this here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7328851&#7328851
    But thought I would start a new topic.
    Something is very wrong. I sent a 9 minute MPEG-2 file to Compressor to have compressed to H.264. (H.264 compression is what I would gather many of us are using Comp for in the first place).
    I know Compressor can do H.264 comp at about 1.43:1 from tests. So a 9 minute clip should take, 6 minutes or so, and with Q Master it should be even faster. Well, Comp reports 8-9 hours. What the heck is going on.
    I have taken MPEG Stream Clip and done the same H.264 output and it takes about 6-7 minutes. Something is up with Comp 3.
    Now I have turned off Q Master, Reset the Comp 3 BG Processing, Quit Comp and relaunch, maybe reboot, possibly trash all prefs related to Comp.
    And still 8-9 hours?
    A 9 minute clip should take 6 minutes and as I say, with Q Master, even faster, that is the point of Q Q Master services

    Took me awhile to get Compressor going reliably but now it has been pretty solid.
    I am not sure what settings you are using to encode (for instance Frame Controls can add alot of time), but 8-9 hours for 9 Minutes seems rather extreme. Note though that you are using an MPEG-2 (m2v?) file. You may be better off converting to another Codec or better yet go to the source material you are double encoding.
    I just set up a Compressor setting on an Octo 2.8 with everything pushed to the Max on Frame Controls and set to resize a 6 Minute HD AIC stream down to H.264 @25% of the size of the original and sent out to "This Computer" and not the Cluster and it took 17 minutes or so. Even with converting from m2v it does seem like it is taking way too long on the machine for you.
    I saw you had done some troubleshooting, but do you have any other details? Was his a clean install of the OS and Studio, or were there upgrades along the way? That caused some issues in the past - meaning between upgrades to Leopard and/or installing Studio 2 over Studio 1.

  • HT201269 I downloaded from Icloud my backup to new 5S.  Everything worked fine except from one of my accounts it show I have 394 unread messages.  Which is correct but I have read all these on my 4S.  How do I show zero and only read new messages?

    I downloaded from Icloud my backup to new 5S.  Everything worked fine.
    However it shows I still have 394 unread messages.  Which correct on this new 5S Iphone but they were all read on my old 4s.
    How to I zero out the 394 and only start reading new messages on this new 5S. 
    Please do not tell i have to delete all 394 messages.

    The process depends on who controls your email.  If you have (username)@mac.com, (username)@me.com or (username)@icloud.com you've come to the correct place.  For any other mail server, you need to contact their specific user support tools.

  • Can I restore from backup to new device without SIM

    I have a 4s and should be receiving my new iPhone 6 tomorrow. I plan to hand down my 4s to my son who currently has a 3gs.
    Can I backup my 4s, then setup my new iPhone 6 by using that 4s backup BEFORE I call in to AT&T and have them transfer my line over to the new phone?
    Also, if after I do that, I reset my 4s (to factory settings), then can I set it up with iTunes to restore from my son's 3gs backup, then call AT&T to migrate his number over to the 4s?
    I know this sounds confusing, it does to me.  Basically what I'm asking is do I need to first put in the new SIM and tell AT&T, THEN restore from the backup, or can I do all that first, then set it up with AT&T.
    Thanks!

    You are working with 3 different SIM card sizes. All three take a different size SIM. Once you stop service on your 4S, that SIM is disabled. You would need a new SIM for the 4S. While you could backup and the 3GS and restore that to the 4S, and you could activate it with the disabled SIM, you couldn't transfer his service to that SIM, he would need a new one from AT&T. You can backup the 4s and restore the 6 to that one. The time you call is not important, except that you may not be able to complete the activation of the new device after restoring the backup until you call and activate the SIM that came in the iPhone 6. Check with AT&T and they can help. If you have a corporate store in your area, you will be able to get all of that done in-house.

  • TS4036 icloud backup to new device is not working as says I dont have enough storage, even although the backup is only 3GB out of my 5GB (giving more than 1GB available!)???

    back up from icloud to new device is not working as it is saying that I dont have enough storage, when I am only trying to use 3GB out of my 5GB allowance???

    I may misunderstand your post - you "backup TO icloud" or restore from icloud to a new device.  Not sure which of these you mean.
    If backing up TO icloud, the problem may be that there's not enough storage on your device, not icloud, as a device needs a good bit of storage to create the backup.
    If restoring from icloud to a new device and you get the error, the storage referenced must be that on the device, although that doesn't seem possible, since a device has more memory than 5GB.

  • HT4859 Can I back up and transfer all in the memory on my phone to iCloud or transfer it to new device?

    My call logs , book marks, and messages?

    The following includes info on what's included in a backup.  If this has what you want, then turn on icloud backups, wait until one has been made, then on the new device, perform a restore using that backup.
    Personally, I'd use iTunes to do the backup/restore - faster and safer, in my opinion.

  • Mail taking up too much iCloud backup space; deleting emails doesn't help

    My iCloud backup said yesterday that over 500 MB was being used by the Mail portion of the backup. So I went into iCloud.com, deleted all of the mail in my Sent Mail folder, then emptied the trash entirely. When I did that, it got worse; it said that 1.2 GB of the iCloud backup was taken up by the Mail backup. That doesn't make any sense. That is actually the opposite of what was supposed to happen.
    Today, it is back to saying that Mail takes up 609.4 MB of space in the backup, but there is next-to-nothing in any of my iCloud email folders, and nothing with any attachments.
    What is going on?
    There does not appear to be a way for me to delete the "Mail" portion of the iCloud backup. And there are almost no emails left in any of my iCloud email folders, even the Archive, Sent and Trash. How do I free up this space?

    I did some quick calculating. It says:
    Total Storage 5.0 GB
    Available 4.2 GB
    5000 MB
    - 111.6 MB (the space taken up by the iPad backup)
    - 38.7 MB (the space taken up by the iPhone backup)
    - 3.8 MB (the space taken up by documents backups)
    = 4845.9 MB
    4845.9 MB
    - 4200 MB (the storage space that it says I have left)
    = 645.9 MB
    So, 645.9 MB is curiously close in size to the 609.4 MB it says for Mail. So either it IS backing up the Mail to the iCloud, or else something else (or several somethings) that is similar in size is taking up that space, but is not accounted for in the list of things that are using my iCloud storage space.
    So what are my options? I can try the buffering thing you mention, check back again on Monday and see if it is still showing a mysterious disappearance of 600-650 MB of storage space.

  • Select/Update taking far too long to run, how can I get it to go faster?

    Hello all,
    I am trying to do an update/select on a table that returns 16 million records. So far most of the time it takes forever to complete or never finishes. Initially I was trying to do it as one big select, but when that didnt work, i broke it down to creating a table with the "base" 16 million records, and am trying to fetch additional values for each of those records from the table i grabbed those records from. Doing a select got me no where, so I am trying to do an update of the tables with the values i find using a cursor. Even this does not seem to be working. Is there a way to do it with a batch/bulk update that would be faster? The code is as follows: (oracle 10g):
    DECLARE 
       CURSOR wr63993_cur IS
          SELECT   provider_id,
                   din_gp_pin,
                   orig_prescription_nbr,
                   adjudication_date
            FROM   WR63993_BASE
           WHERE   adjudication_date BETWEEN to_date('2009/07/01', 'yyyy/mm/dd') AND to_date('2009/07/31', 'yyyy/mm/dd');
       CURSOR date_cur (v_provider_id WR63993_BASE.provider_id%TYPE,
                        v_din_gp_pin WR63993_BASE.din_gp_pin%TYPE,
                        v_orig_prescription_nbr WR63993_BASE.orig_prescription_nbr%TYPE,
                        v_adjudication_date WR63993_BASE.adjudication_date%TYPE)
          IS
          SELECT   MIN(adjudication_date) min_date
            FROM   claim_history@posi
           WHERE   provider_id = v_provider_id
             AND   din_gp_pin = v_din_gp_pin
             AND   orig_prescription_nbr = v_orig_prescription_nbr
             AND   adjudication_date >= ADD_MONTHS(v_adjudication_date, - 24);
    BEGIN
       FOR wr63993_rec IN wr63993_cur LOOP
          FOR date_rec in date_cur(wr63993_rec.provider_id, wr63993_rec.din_gp_pin, wr63993_rec.orig_prescription_nbr, wr63993_rec.adjudication_date) LOOP
             UPDATE   WR63993_BASE
                SET   min_date = date_rec.min_date
              WHERE   provider_id = wr63993_rec.provider_id
                AND   din_gp_pin = wr63993_rec.din_gp_pin
                AND   orig_prescription_nbr = wr63993_rec.orig_prescription_nbr;
          END LOOP;
      END LOOP;
      COMMIT;
    END;
    /

    aaah. healthcare insurance :)
    The performance of these, as i'm sure you know, is tricky.
    Consider the following which could help you eliminate your cursors. Here, B.adjudication_date will be the same as "MIN(adjudication_date) min_date" from your query.
    I understand that this is typically outside of your control, but if it is at all possible, move all of the data to the same database so you don't need those distributed queries. Separate schemas is ok.
    Select
      stuff
    From Wr63993_Base A
    Inner Join Claim_History@Posi B On A.Provider_Id=B.Provider_Id And A.Din_Gp_Pin=B.Din_Gp_Pin And A.Orig_Nbr=B.Orig_Nbr
    --the next table will allow you to get *earlier* instances of the claim where the adjudication date was in past 24 months
    --we only want to see the row where there ARE NO EARLIER instances. So this LOJ will return null for that row.
    Left Outer Join Claim_History@Posi C On A.Provider_Id=C.Provider_Id And A.Din_Gp_Pin=C.Din_Gp_Pin And A.Orig_Nbr=C.Orig_Nbr
    and c.adjudication_date >= ADD_MONTHS(a.adjudication_date, - 24) and c.adjudication_date<b.adjudication_date
    Where  
      A.Adjudication_Date Between To_Date('2009/07/01', 'yyyy/mm/dd')
      And To_Date('2009/07/31', 'yyyy/mm/dd')
      And B.Adjudication_Date >= Add_Months(A.Adjudication_Date, - 24)
      and c.adjudication_date is null --only get the row where B is the earliest qualifying adjudication date.

  • BPC taking far too long to install on 2 of 3 identical servers

    Hi all
    Has anyone ever found a situation where any of your servers take much longer to install BPC than one or more of your others?
    I have 3 identical servers:
    Hardware:  HP ProLiant DL360-G5
    CPU:                2 x Quad-core 2.33GHz Intel Xeon
    RAM:          3.25GB
    O/S:           Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x86 SP2
    One of them installs BPC in around 8 minutes, but the other 2 each take around 1.5 hours.
    The main verification is in the folder C:\BPC\Websrvr\BIN
    The timestamps on the files on the fast server are all within 3 minutes (134 files, from 14:17 to 14:20 on the date of installation)
    On the slower ones, the timestamps are 15:24 to 16:24 for the same files (it took about 1hr 5 minutes to install this last time)
    As soon as the "Copying files" section was done, the rest just stormed through to the end of installation.
    It seems really odd that 2/3 would have this problem.  If it was just 1 then I would assume that there is an issue with the hardware, but for 2 to have the same issue ???
    Finally, we run McAfee on these servers.
    I disabled it completely on the slow ones, and even left it switched on on the fast one, to see if I could slow it down, but nothing.
    Everything went through in exactly the same way.
    Can anyone offer any help, as we are wondering if this could be indicative of performance issues to come as we load these servers up with users at some future point.
    Thanks
    Craig

    Thanks Akim.
    I copied a 13GB file and found one server completing in 9.5 minutes and the other 2 taking 15 minutes
    I found that the Array Read/Write caching on the servers was different.
    On the fast one, it was set to 50/50 Read/Write
    On the slow one, it was set to 25/75 Read/Write
    Once I changed the setting, there was still a bit of a diffrerence (which I'll continue looking for), but the slow servers are now transferring the file in under 11 minutes, so a big percentage difference there.
    Thanks again for the pointers

  • "Processing File" taking far too long!!

    I have a subscription to a TV program that I've been using for a bit more than a month. It's always worked beautifully.
    Then I had to upgrade iTunes to the newest version.
    Now the downloads are taking about the same amount of time, but there's this "Processing File" thing at the end that's adding sometimes more than 30 minutes to the time it takes me to start viewing each file.
    What is the problem here? Is there any way to speed up or skip this process? Is this now "normal"?
    If anyone can help solve this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. As it is, this *****! If this continues, I'll have to let my subscription expire and just do something else instead, because the wait time isn't worth it to me. (That and this new version frequently crashes for me during the "processing file" process.)
    Thanks for any help you can give!
    PC   Windows XP  

    Thanks, Jason.
    UPDATE:
    Blue screen of death persists, unable to proceed until STOP error problem is fixed.
    It appears that the previous problem with the long "processing file" time may have been caused by corrupt downloads resulting from the blue screen error mentioned in my previous post. However, I am unable to confirm this until I solve the problem with the continually-generated STOP errors.
    I have just finished following all of the steps outlined in the link provided above by Jason L. I have completely uninstalled and removed all traces of iTunes and Quicktime from my computer, including all installation files. Then I went into MSCONFIG and changed the Services and Startup items so that nothing would start except for the required Microsoft processes, including disabling all anti-virus and firewall software. After this, I restarted my computer.
    After the restart, I double-checked the processes in Task Manager to make sure there were no unnecessary processes running. There were no unrequired processes, and the applications tab was empty. I then installed Quicktime standalone and restarted. I repeated the above checks and (leaving the quicktime process running) downloaded iTunes, running the installation file after saving it to the desktop. I then restarted the computer again.
    After doing all of the above, I started iTunes. It processed a few files and then sat there, ready to go. I clicked on the option to check for purchases. The 3 remaining downloads showed up and began downloading anew.
    Less than 3 minutes into the download process, the blue screen of death appeared again. The technical information in this error reads as follows:
    * STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x0000006A, 0xEF2E6C40, 0x00000000)
    I am unable to proceed further in attempting to solve this problem, as I have no unnecessary processes running and have run out of ideas. Any help is appreciated.

  • ITunes downloads taking far too long

    Hi. When trying to download my purchases from iTunes my PC says it is working at 100% and has taken over an hour to dowload about 25 audio tracks. I have tried the usual stuff but when I pause the downloads my PC goes back to working at about 20% or so. This seems to have become an issue since downloading the latest version of iTunes. Incidentally, apart from the internet connection, there is nothing else running on my PC. Any ideas as I can't do anything else on my PC like this as it is running at 100% and taking forever to do anything!
    Thanks.
